SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,203, dated March 20, 18873.

Application filed February 9,1883. (No model.)

To all whom it mag/.concern Be it known that we, ADDISON LANGE and MADisON YOLTON, of Frankfort Springs, in

the county of Beaver and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Im provements in Motors; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this speciticat'ion, and in which-` proved motor. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the wheel `upon the drive-shaft.A Fig. 3 is a similar view of the pawl and spring upon the said wheel, and Fig. 4 is a similar view of the pitman in the motor.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in all the figures.`

Our invention has relation to motors for operating churns, and for other domestic purposes; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of such a motor` operated by a weight, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates the frame of the motor, forming bearings I'or the severalshafts,andB a tall box or tower in which the driving-weight travels. The driving-weight C is attached to one end of a cord or chain, D, which is carried over a pulley, E, in the toplof the box, and down around and fastened.I to* a drum, F, upon thev drive-shaft G, which turns in bearings inthe frame. The oneend of the drum Fis provided with a ratchet-wheel, H, which is engaged by a pawl, 1, pivoted upon theface of the drivewheelJ. The back of the pawl I is grooved longitudinally at K for the reception of the dat rounded free end L of a'sprin g, M, which is fastened to theface of the `drive-wheel. The drive-wheel is journaled loose `upon shaft G, so that the shatt and the drum may be rotated in winding the weight up without rotating the drive-wheel, the pawl I slipping over the inclined side ofthe ratchet-teeth; but when the weight acts upon the cord, turning the drum and shaft in an opposite direction, the ratchetteeth engage with the pawl and turn that and the wheel with it. 1

`bring the pawl in a plane with the ratchetteeth, by a plate or collar, P, having three, or

The

more or less, spring-lips, Q, which are bent 6o against and bear against the face of the Wheel, the collar heilig held upon the shaft by a pin, R, a nut, or other suitable fastening. The cogs of the drive-wheel engage a pinion, S,

wheel, U, is fastened, which engages a pinion,

', upon the crank-shaft W. Upon the end of this shaft, which isjournaled in bearings in the frame, as also shaft T is, is a ily-wheel, X, and the middle of the shaft is bent to form a double crank, Y. A pitman, Z, is pivoted to this crank and to the end of a lever, a, which is pivoted upon the framefand with the other end of which the several devices which it is desired to operate may be connected. Pitman Z consists of an iron bar bent to form a series of eyes, b, having a small opening,`c, at one side, as shown in Fi 4, which enables the pitman to be changed upon the crank-from one eye to another, the springinessof the iron allowing them to be slipped over the crank-pin, so that the end of the lever may be raised or lowered to suit machines of different height. It will be seen that by having the drivefastened upon a shaft, T, upon which a cog- 65 Figure 1 is a perspective view ot' our i|n' held against the face Vof the ratchet-wheel, so

that the pawl upon it may engage the latter,

it may be slid to a side, so that the pawl is disengaged by pressing it against the springlips Q, which will allow the weight to run down without operating the machine, when it is desired to stop the same.

Having thus described our invention, we

Vclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. In a motor of the described class, the combination of the drive-wheel J, journaled loose upon shaft G, with the collar P, having spring-lips Q, bearing against the face of wheel J, and held in place upon shaft G by a piuv or nut, as and for the purpose set forth..
